Concept
Sailors say the route must be charted in detail before setting sail — because if you do not know which harbour you are heading for, no wind will help you. As orthodontists, every one of the dozens of orthodontic journeys we begin each month likewise needs a route: a treatment plan.
In this course, the routes charted, the harbours visited and the adventures lived through more than twenty years of orthodontic journeys are shared. May your bow be clear and the wind be with you.
